Started this before change to "New Blogger", as backup in case of trouble with digiphoto blog "In a Small Dark Room", or rants & links blog "Hello Cruel World" . Useful - at one stage Dark Room was there, but like the astrophysical Dark Matter, we could't see it ... better now, but kept Just In Case.

There is nothing. There is no God and no universe, there is only empty
space, and in it a lost and homeless and wandering and companionless
and indestructible Thought. And I am that thought. And God, and the
Universe, and Time, and Life, and Death, and Joy and Sorrow and Pain
only a grotesque and brutal dream, evolved from the frantic imagination
of that same Thought.

http://www.exopolitics.org/Study-Paper2.htmAn Exopolitical Perspective on the Preemptive War against Iraq

Most, if not all, criticisms of the Bush administration's motivation forlaunching a preemptive war on Iraq focus on a combination of the imperial worldviews of conservative politicians in power in Washington, D.C., and thecorporate interests that drive the political agenda of the Bush administration.This study will provide a radically different political analysis of the Bushadministration's motivation for going war, and of the explanations offered byhis critics. This study provides an exopolitical analysis of the policydimensions of an historic extraterrestrial presence that is pertinent to Iraqand a US led preemptive attack. It will be argued that competing clandestinegovernment organizations are struggling through proxy means to take control ofancient extraterrestrial (ET) technology that exists in Iraq, in order toprepare for an impending series of events corresponding to the 'prophesiedreturn' of an advanced race of ETs. The Columbia Space Shuttle may well havebeen a high profile victim of such a proxy war intended to send a message to USbased clandestine organizations over the preemptive war against Iraq.

In conducting this analysis, this study examines the available evidence ofan historical ET presence in Iraq, and then applies this evidence to betterunderstand the contemporary political situation in Iraq. The study will thenanalyze the motivations of the main political actors in the prospective US ledpreemptive war against Iraq. The study concludes by making some policyrecommendations concerning how to respond to the legacy of an ET presence inIraq and its contemporary political relevance.
